Well, I don't have any bio-kids so I can't talk about thier births, but I do have two pretty awesome step-sons ages 11 and 16 both living with us full time. I will never, never forget the day I moved in with my hubby and the boys and my youngest "son" said, "can I call you mommy now?" I'll also never forget the day that my oldest step-son told me that out of all the moms he knows, I'm the best. Wow! Pretty cool for a step-monster lol

My hubby is pretty great too. Just tonight we were talking to our oldest (now LICENSED DRIVER) about a trial run of him driving BY HIMSELF to and from school for the few weeks that hubby will be in Africa for work. (It will take a HUGE load off my back not having to scurry everywhere on my own for both of them) We had to set the ground rules and to emphasize that he backed me up (since I'll be enforcing them alone for a few weeks) the first thing my hubby did was put his arm around my shoulders before he started talking. I'm SO greatful that he shows "our boys" that he and I are a united front when it comes to discipline/rules/cat-herding lol. I've heard horror stories from step moms who do not have their husbands' support when it comes to step-kids. I'm SO BLESSED!

PS I came to this forum just for the "little everyday things" that go on in marriage and maybe to vent a little. I don't post much because it seems that others have much more major issues than I and I feel guilty *****ing about little things...Just to let you know, I'm not just a "lurker".Thanks for this thread, SC!
